tobiasvangils Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Hello. One very simple question which Mac is better for in my 'studio' 1) Apple Mac Pro Dual 2,66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon Intel Xeon Dual-Core 2,66 GHz 6 GB Ram 1 TB NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT with 256 MB GDDR2 SDRAM Mac OS 10.6.5 Snow Leopard. (comes from 2006 or 2007) 2) My macbook pro I already have: 2,53ghz intel core 2 duo / memory: 4GB 1067MHz DDR3 What will be connected to the mac - interface (Apogee Ensemble or RME Fireface 800) - Mackie Big knob - Pair of active ADAM A5X speakers - Pair Acoustic energy AE22 speakers, active - 2 headphones, dr. dre and beyerdynamic - Kurzweil KME61, used as midi-keyboard. - 2 or 3 microphones throuhg the Ensemble probably Projects won't be to big. about 20 software-instruments, many 3rd party, like nexus, sylenth1, massive, absynth, fabfilter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tobiasvangils Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 will it make a big difference or will the macbook pro be strong enough for this studios? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eriksimon Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Both. The Mac Pro will be more than 1.5 times more powerful, AND you can use (up to four) internal harddisks instead of FW or USB disks. Faster and cheaper. Also the MP can hold more RAM, which can be an advantage when working with large sampler insruments or lots of flexed audio etc. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5205/5369204787_bd42b57fb3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobiasvangils Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 bedankt. So there will never be any problems when I use the Macbook Pro (got the 15 inch). ben namelijk zwaar aan het twijfelen of een laptop al die speakers en interfaces wel aan kan. heb er te weinig verstand van. thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzfilth Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Erik will certainly attest that there will never be any problem whatsoever with your computer. He will sign this, in blood if necessary, on any document you like. Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eriksimon Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 bedankt. So there will never be any problems when I use the Macbook Pro (got the 15 inch). never any... I didn't even remotely say that, and I clearly favored the Mac Pro in my previous post. I think the MBP will actually struggle, you listed some "4x4" synths there that can run Logic down easily. I doubt if even the Mac Pro you listed can always manage 20 tracks loaded with those kind of synths... ben namelijk zwaar aan het twijfelen of een laptop al die speakers en interfaces wel aan kan. heb er te weinig verstand van. Dat gaat nog wel, hoewel de Ensemble geen "mobiele" interface is... De Mac Pro is in alle opzichten de (veel) betere keus hier. The Mac Pro is the far better option for you here.

Juliet Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 One thing I would like to add....I bought a Mac Pro, but I find the constant noise very irritating, as I work on my own, and write and record all in one room. Wish I'd not got it now. Juliet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobiasvangils Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Thx for the replies. I decided Im going to get a more powerful quad-core 3ghz or something Unfortunately thats more expensive but I hope its going to be worth it. @Juliet: I'm probably getting an argosy desk and put the machine in there. That will maybe help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliet Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 An 'argosy desk'...well, thank you for the tip. I shall investigate Hope your purchase goes well for you. Juliet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
